From june 2002, Radiosim is freeware.

1. Execute Install.exe
   The installation is a standard Windows installation. Windows Vista, XP, and 2000 are supported, not Windows7 starter edition .
   Of course, Linux nor Macintosh are not convenient. 
2. The sources are also freeware and no copyright is needed. Download Sources.zip (1 Mb) and uncompress it in the same repertory as above.
   You must own Microsoft Visual Basic version 6. In case of version 5, erase line "Retained=0" of Radiosim.vbp, delete the continuous progress bar in Continue_Form.rm and replace it by the discontinuous progress bar of version 5.
3. Sources.zip include two routines written in Fortran 90 to speed computation (FFT and bit error rate computation),
   I used Microsoft Fortran Power Station (no more commercialised by Microsoft, but par Digital).
   Any other development program in Fortran could be used instead.
